About FtSB.

I’m Maria, a licensed Realtor® in Texas with a background rooted in real estate investing and property management. My journey started by managing short-term and long-term rentals, learning the business hands-on—one property at a time. Over the years, I’ve expanded from managing family investments to helping others navigate buying, selling, renting, and investing with clarity and confidence.

This blog is an extension of my day-to-day work and everything I’ve learned from experience—not theory. I believe in sharing real stories, market trends, and practical strategies that help people make smarter decisions in real estate. Whether you’re an investor, a first-time buyer, or someone curious about what really happens behind the scenes, I hope you find this space useful, relatable, and refreshingly honest.
